Soft Suicide Prevention Door SSPD

Soft Suicide Prevention Door
SSPD
The Soft Suicide Prevention Door was developed by patient safety professionals at the
Department of Veterans Affairs and is now offered for sale by Kennon Products. It is custom
made to fit any door frame up to 42” wide. Double, saloon-style panels are available for wider
installations. Door hinges consist of magnets, which are encased in a rip-stop material hinge.
Hinges attach directly to a typical hollow, metal door frame or to stainless steel hinge plates.
The doors are designed to pull off of the hinges immediately with up to 20 pounds of vertical
pressure. Visit http://www.suicideproofing.com to view our informational video.
The SSPD eliminates door anchor points while contributing to the healing environment by
providing calming artwork for patients. SSPDs are lightweight, durable, shred-proof,
anti-microbial, easy to clean and meet the California State Fire Marshall Title 19, NFPA-701
ASTM E84-81A Flame Spread Rating Class. Large format printing enables customization of the
door: choose one of our designs or choose a high resolution stock photo from
www.thinkstock.com. The SSPD can also be printed with any image for which you own the
rights. Doors are available in solid colors as well: ocean blue, hospital green, sand and white.
